Encore Boston Harbor Casino | 1 Broadway | Everett

Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett

Can't it be both: dated architecture and timeless logo? I don't fault Wynn for his sensible commercial choice: he's got a great brand and an instantly recognized logo.
 
Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett

The tower is part of his logo though, because all of the towers he has built have the same curved shape and bronze facade. He keeps replicating this at every casino tower he builds so the tower has become a huge logo that you see from a distance that screams Wynn. When you see it you know what it is. His logo could literally be this curved tower inside of a circle and you would know what it is haha.

This version of the tower is a far better choice than the wretched first proposal, it has a certain minimalist appeal. The ground floor, though, is a horror of weapons-grade tackiness that would give indigestion to even Siegfried and Roy.

Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett

I agree the outside ground level doesn't match at all and looks extremely cheesy. This doesn't work in Boston at all this looks like Miami or anywhere in South Florida, not Boston. This is what were stuck with though and the inside will be incredible. Also its pretty legit that since they don't want to wait for the draw bridges to have to go up and down they are getting custom built water taxi speed boats that are very fast and low to the water so they can whip back and forth from the casino to Rowes Wharf as they please with no wait. They had planned for a stop in Medford for these taxis, which would have been a cool way to get from Medford to Rowes Wharf/downtown. but of course that was shot down....this is Boston. Either way pretty cool.

Even the ground level in Vegas for some reason would work better here than the Everett design does.

Not sure which grand stair case this is but this is somewhere in the Everett casino.

The taxis may be similar to this:

To each their own but those interiors are ghastly imo. They could stand to do less.
 
Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett

I didnt say they look good. I was just asking if thats what you were talking about. The only thing I was saying is that the tower doesnt look like an anywhere usa tower, it looks like the Wynn, its instantly recognizable. The curved facade, curved roof, thinness, and bronze facade is unique to the Wynn towers no matter where you go and immediately tells you this is a casino, the Wynn casino.
 
Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett

Agreed on that front. I think the tower itself is fine, though I've never seen one up close so I'm curious to see how the bronze/brown looks. But even if it's excellent the cleanliness of the tower is undermined by the gaudiness of everything else onsite. I wonder what the guest rooms will look like upstairs.

This is awful. It looks how poor people imagined how rich people lived in the 1990's.
 
Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett

Looks like Dubai. [Source: Used to live in Dubai]
 
Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett

Exactly, a poor person's idea of a rich person.

Casinos are about fantasy and perception... so yes. It is basically the kind of ostentatious presentation and opulent surroundings that you would expect at a Wynn casino. Wynn was one of the first in Vegas to shift from the theme park type casino (Pirate ships, Pyramids, Ceasar's Palace, Tiger shows, Paris, New York New York... etc) to more gilded opulence like the Bellagio or Wynn.

Honestly the best part about the whole interior to me is the bronze multi million dollar Popeye statue. It tells me 1) Steve Wynn really is from Revere. 2) Steve Wynn has a sense of humor. And is willing to spend money on that sense of humor. I know I laugh every time I see it in the renders, so thank you.
 
Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett

I still think it's possible to exude opulence and wealth in a way that isn't tacky and dated. This place looks like the Atrium Mall and the old Copley Place had an unwanted baby.

I agree with this; over-the-top opulence is fun for an occasional night out. Would I ever want to live or work in a place that looks like that? Hell no. But if I'm out with a couple friends to go gambling it helps get into the fun and spirit of the whole thing.
 
Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett

The mall was completely removed from the project and turned into a conference center. Only retail will be Wynn branded restaurants and retail gift shops.

That's fair.
 
Re: Wynn Everett Casino | Everett

With the future opening of the Wynn Casino should really help the traffic scenario around this area. Just remember I called this out 5 years ago how bad this was getting and our elected tards in office continue to do nothing about this.

Boston’s traffic is becoming a tourism nightmare

http://www.bostonglobe.com/lifestyl...and-seaport/AgQ1zlqclyeBWTPStqrXIN/story.html

Not a shock. Just look at how quickly they are to grant developers rights to build right next our highways - 93 in particular. Until they make a massive investment in expanded highways and other road infrastructure, plus mass transit, traffic will only continue to get worse and worse in the city of Boston and surrounding towns.
